Do I get the cash difference if I pick other than the most expensive?

From the side - 1, from the front - 2, for the whole car - 3, though the ferrari is tempting

Most certainly. Just send me your bank routing number, account number and PIN and I shall see to it that the difference is posted promptly.

Send info via PM as one never knows what swindlers lurk in these forums......

This place is full of vultures, vultures everywhere.

EDIT: Had to fix the quote

A coworker friend and I were riding up the elevator one morning and he asked me which motorcycle I rode that day. Someone else in the elevator asked why I had multiple motorcycles. I answered that I don't wear the same pair of shoes every day. She exited without another word.

I like all three. Came close to ordering the Roma, looking at Vantages, have the F-type.

When I configure them: Roma is $275k, Vantage is $175k, F-Type R is $120k.

F-Type is least expensive, Vantage is a good middle ground, Roma does best when it comes to depreciation.

# 3. Best looking, most bang for the buck, and great as a daily driver when you can't afford $1,500 per month in maintenance. For some reason the word diaper comes to mind looking at the Aston and Ferrari "diffusers".

I loved my XKR and i think it is every bit as pretty as the F Type. I'd be tempted still by an XKR-S (or XFR-S) especially in IRR. That said, the f Type transmission, grip, steering, and infotainment is improved, as you would expect in a newer car that is more sports GT as opposed to GT.

When I had my XKR I preferred the headlight treatment of the 2012 and wasnt really a fan of the cheek pouches - odd to look back on how much I obsessed over it back then, I saw one a few days ago and only saw beauty.

To be fair, it is really only the front on the latest F Type I don't like. The headlights are too long and thin for my liking and is the same reason I don't like the new Vantage.

I am with you on the 2012 on XK looking the best!

From side view jag is by far the best.
AM and ferrari look like the front and back of the car have sagged down compared to the middle of the car. Almost like a melting chocolate bar that you have balance over a pencil in the middle

I am not sure about the AM and Ferrari, but our F Types look MUCH better in person. The 2D pic does not convey the F type design properly. Our cars look amazing from every angle [especially off angles] but only in three dimensions as it is the use of contour and depth that makes the design so beautiful.

The Aston & Jag have the 2 best rear ends out of call Sports/Super cars. If the Aston's front end looked a little less smushed from the side and had meaner headlights....it's the best looking modern car at that point

2 is the only choice as I do not like the trendy black wheels on 1 and 3.

Original F type, then aston, then roma, then new F type.

Cost to own.....only 3 makes any moderate sense.
